python-mystrom aka. pystrom

This is an unofficial Python integration for finding and controlling local MyStrom devices.

Due to the lack of owned devices, some features may not be fully implemented or tested. The project is primarily developed and tested with the MyStrom Wi-Fi Switch CH.

Important

This project is not developed by MyStrom nor affiliated with them in any way.

Installation

Installation requires Python and Pip (which usually comes with Python).

python -m pip install -U pystrom

Features

This library provides a simple CLI and a Python API.

Console Commands

Command	Function
python -m pystrom find	Listen for MyStrom devices in the local network
python -m pystrom find --live	Continuously listen for MyStrom devices in the local network

Python API

Get device objects

You can use the MyStromDeviceFinder class to find devices in your local network. It will return a list of MyStromDevice objects or subclasses thereof.

from pystrom.finder import MyStromDeviceFinder

with MyStromDeviceFinder() as finder:
    devices = finder.find_all()  # will take 5 seconds
    for device in devices:
        print(device)

You can also create a MyStromDevice object by using the MyStromDeviceFactory.from_ip method, which only requires the IP address of the device:

from pystrom.device import MyStromDeviceFactory

device = MyStromDeviceFactory.from_ip("192.168.1.220")
print(device)

Control devices

The following API methods are available for controlling devices:

General (MyStromDevice)

Method	Function
.get_general_info()	Get general device information
.get_wifi_list()	Get reachable Wi-Fi networks
.get_help()	Get a list of available API endpoints
.get_settings()	Get current device settings
.set_settings()	Set or update device settings

Switch (MyStromSwitch)

Method	Function
.turn_on()	Turn on the switch
.turn_off()	Turn off the switch
.toggle()	Toggle the switch state and return the new state
.power_cycle()	Power cycle the switch (off, wait, then on)
.timer()	Set the state and reverse it after a specified time
.get_report()	Get a report of the switch's current state
.get_temperature()	Get the current temperature reading and configuration

Bulb (MyStromBulb)

Method	Function
.turn_on()	Turn on the bulb
.turn_off()	Turn off the bulb
.toggle()	Toggle the bulb state
.set_options()	Set options like color, ramp, mode, and notifyurl
.get_device_information()	Get the device information, including current bulb state

Other devices and missing endpoints

Other device types are not yet implemented with specific classes, but you can still interact with them:

To control them, you can use the manual API methods of the MyStromDevice class, which allows you to send HTTP requests to the device's API endpoints.

Method	Function
.api_get()	Send a GET request to the device's API endpoint
.api_post()	Send a POST request to the device's API endpoint
